Airness
by Chelsea Marcantel
In the world of competitive air guitar there is one big question: will you shred or be shredded? From dingy dive bars to the national championships, this group of quirky performers really rocks. But as newcomer Nina soon learns, there’s much more to air guitar than glitz, glam, and gorgeous hair. What secrets are revealed on and off stage?
Airness is directed by Professor of Theatre Chris Woodworth. The design team consists of Ed Hallborg (Set and Lighting Design and Technical Direction), Kelly Walker (Sound Design), and Katharine Tarkulich (Costume Design). Lauren Davidson is the Stage Manager and Ky Apple, Ada Bastedo, Dee Gilner, and Quinn DeRosa are Assistant Stage Managers. The cast includes Izzy Huelgas (Nina), Nathaniel Phillips (Shreddy Eddy), Derrielle Faulkner (Cannibal Queen), Aaron Vicioso (Facebender), Kevin ‘KJ’ Johnson (Golden Thunder), Andrew Milliman (D. Vicious), and special guest artist Cassie Sneider (Announcer, Sprite Executive). Sneider, a former National Air Guitar competitor also serves as consultant on the production.
